And finally I made it last month. I made this for my friend who is going to be gifted with a beautiful kid soon.
This is one of Nigella lawson's recipe and I was crazy to try this recipe as soon as I saw that. This chocolate has a little salty taste with some crunch from the chocolate wafers and a little nutty taste from the roasted peanuts. This one was a total heaven and you will get lost each time you bite in to it. I modified this recipe as per my taste.
So here you go to the step by step recipe with pictures..

I have always loved Nigella since she is seen on Indian Television..
But never dared to try her recipes..
Thanks for your inspiration for trying her recipes.. I will try this one for sure...
One question.. Where do you get your raw material i.e chocolate chips from I stay in Mumbai and which brand as they are not easily available .. Is the butter used Amul Butter?
Aarthi
@MahekI bought chocolate chips from a online shop in india mart..Butter whihc i used is amul butter
